Four Separate Frailty Metrics Lack Concordance and Are Non-Reflective of the Kidney Transplant Listing Outcome: A Large Single Center Review
Transplant Surgery, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: It is well known that functional status has prognostic value for post-surgical outcomes, however pre-transplant patients are not required to undergo objective frailty testing.…2022 American Transplant Congress
Safety and Immunogenicity of Live Viral Vaccination After Pediatric Liver and Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: New recommendations suggest that measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR-vx) and varicella vaccine (VZV-vx) may be administered to certain non-immune transplant recipients. The purpose of this study…2022 American Transplant Congress
Adenovirus Enteritis Following Intestinal Transplantation
1Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, MI, 2Duke University, Durham, NC, 3Columbia, New York, NY
*Purpose: Intestinal transplant is a life-saving therapy for intestinal failure. Adenovirus Enteritis (AE) is an unusual infection identified on biopsy or serology following intestine or…2022 American Transplant Congress
Local Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for the Ex Vivo Preservation of a Porcine Vascularized Composite Allograft with 24-hour Normothermic Machine Perfusion
*Purpose: Given therapeutic limitations in limb salvage, we sought to demonstrate the efficacy of combining local mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) infusion with fresh whole blood…2022 American Transplant Congress
Deep Phenotyping Methods Highlight Recipient-Derived CD16+ NK and CD16+ Monocyte Infiltration During Kidney Transplant Rejection
*Purpose: How the immune system participates to kidney transplant rejection has not been fully elucidated. Single-cell (sc) genomics techniques are revolutionizing our ability to characterize…2022 American Transplant Congress
Bilateral Renal Autotransplantation for Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma
*Purpose: We report the first case of bilateral renal autotransplantation after staged resection of a giant liposarcoma of the retroperitoneum.*Methods: A 39-year-old male presented with…2022 American Transplant Congress
Polymorphisms in Ctla-4 Predict De Novo Donor Specific Antibody Formation After Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: The post-transplant development of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) initiates the antibody-mediated rejection, which is associated with an increased rate of graft loss. Therefore, risk prediction…2022 American Transplant Congress
Intensive Antimetabolite Reduction is Not Associated with Increased Risk of Biopsy-Proven Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients with BK Virus Infection; a Single Center Experience
*Purpose: Polyoma BK virus (BKV) is a ubiquitous DNA virus that is capable of reactivation and infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Manifestations of the…2022 American Transplant Congress
Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Identifies the Changes of Human Normal Kidney After Transplantation
*Purpose: We found that in all studies about kidney transplantation and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), the native kidney rather than the transplanted kidney was…2022 American Transplant Congress
Anti-CD80/86 Antibody (RM80/GL-1) Suppressed Murine Donor Specific Antibody Through Anergy CD4+T Cells
*Purpose: The interactions between CD80 and CD86 on antigen-presenting cells and CD28 on T cells may play an important role in alloimmune responses. We investigated…
